I hate how stingy he is with money.

Here’s a backstory. In High school, I worked my entire senior year & all of Summer before going to college. I basically lived at work because I’d go from school straight to work all the way til closing time & in the summer I was opening/closing stores by myself every day. My bf wasn’t working at the time and I would pay for everything in all of our dates even though they were always his ideas. I like going out to open festivals and whatnot, not really one to go on fancy dates or anything that requires a lot of spending. Now, I’m in college, paying tuition out of pocket with little help from my parents & just recently switched my lines to my mom’s account because she said she’d be paying the same and I wouldn’t have to worry about an extra bill. I’m not working but I do get some financial aid from a military program I’m in. The reason I can’t work is because my classes and Army training take up all my time. I only see my bf on the weekends and he plans how our day will go. First, he complains that he has to pay for almost everything on our dates that HE plans- yet he knows I’m not working a job rn. Since the town I’m studying in is more expensive, he suggested instead of coming on campus, he can just pick me up Friday, go back to our hometown and drop me off Sunday. Then, he complains that he has to spend on gas so he wants to pick me up, spend the entire weekend together and have my parents drop me off Sundays- which half the time they don’t even know I’m coming. I never once complained about paying for every date when I was working. He gets paid by the Army AND his normal job. He’s always going out with friends or his siblings yet he complains about spending money when he’s with me. I just want to break up with him.

Also, his friend and him were talking about going on dates & he goes “do you also have to pay for everything on the dates!?” And his friend said “well yeah, I’m not gonna make her pay.. especially if I’m the one who told her to come with me” & he just stayed quiet because he was expecting a different answer so he could turn around and be like “you see?”
